Ileana was born to lawyer Ronaldo D'Cruz, a Roman Catholic, and Sameera, who is a Muslim. Ileana was brought up in Mumbai and was initially reluctant to step into showbiz. However she came into notice after several photo shoots, modelling shows and advertisements. She especially came to notice after the Fair and Lovely ad directed by filmmaker Rakesh Roshan.

In 2011, her film Nenu Naa Rakshasi failed at the box office. But next year with the help of films like Nanban and Shakti, Ileana's career gained momentum again. Ileana's performances have always been appreciated by critics and fans, which is probably why she is the highest paid actress in the South Indian film industry.
